Future Students

One of the more recent fields of academic study, computer science is fundamental component of today’s digital world. Almost every major challenge facing our world is turning to computing for a solution, from conquering disease to eliminating hunger, from improving education to protecting the environment.

Medical imaging and medical software applications are revolutionizing the practice of medicine, mobile devices are transforming the way people live and communicate, and web search engines have become a ubiquitous part of our every day lives.

Computing enables discovery in areas previously untapped such as unraveling the mysteries of DNA via the Human Genome Project, and exploration of the farthest reaches of the universe with the Hubble telescope.

These discoveries are facilitated with developments in computer science. In another ten to 15 years, it is expected that all major systems and infrastructure in the world will be controlled by software. Computer science will play a critical role in this transformation.
